We LOVE beginners! Most of our classes are geared towards total beginners and do not require any experience or strength prerequisites. We meet you where you are! All ages, shapes, body types, and backgrounds are welcome in our studio!
Aerial Silks are long, flowing fabrics that you climb, wrap, and move through in the air. This is the classic “cirque-style” apparatus—think climbs, poses, and eventually drops as you progress.
The hammock (or sling) is a soft loop of fabric that supports your body, making it easier to get off the ground right away. You’ll sit, lie, invert, and flow through movements with more support than silks.
Lyra is a steel hoop suspended in the air that you’ll sit, stand, and pose in. It’s a favorite for creating beautiful shapes and transitions, combining strength with artistry.
Trapeze features a bar (sometimes with ropes) that you can sit, stand, and move on. It’s versatile, fun, and often feels the most playful of all the apparatuses.
Once you’ve graduated from Aerial Foundations, you can select an apparatus and continue your aerial journey.

I’ve never felt so welcomed by people that didn’t know me. The positivity in this atmosphere is outrageous and something I’ve never experienced in my whole life. I appreciate the encouragement and the positivity from everyone here. I’m so happy to have found such a community.
Love this place!!! I like that it has stuff for kids and adults. Me and my daughter both like that it is fun and good for our physical fitness. I would definitely recommend.
ACA makes me feel so welcome. The instructors are all so knowledgeable and you can tell that they love what they do.
I was very nervous to try out my first class. My fears were all put to rest because of how welcoming the instructor was! I wish I could take classes every day!!
Leotards, unitards, under armor style pants and shirts, leggings, or fitness bottoms are ideal. DO NOT WEAR SHORTS, tops that expose the midriff, or loose clothing. NO ZIPPERS, JEANS, SEQUINS, JEWELS, JEWELRY, WATCHES OR anything that can tear fabrics. Most classes are held barefoot – we have cubbies and lockers to store your shoes during your class.
Yes, tuition will be prorated accordingly if you sign up after the beginning of the month, and you won’t be charged the full amount shown on our website. Each student will be at a slightly different level, so our instructors are well-adept at scaffolding classes to match everyone’s needs – so you won’t “fall behind” by joining in the middle of a month or series.
Students enrolled in weekly class series must pay monthly tuition (No membership fee).
Please review our makeup policy. If you are missing most of your classes in a month – talk with us to see if there is another class that better fits your schedule.
